💎He who wears unclean garments, has dirty teeth, is a glutton, speaks unkindly and sleeps after sunrise - although he may be the greatest personality - will lose the favour of Lakshmi.

💎What good is a cow that neither gives milk nor conceives? Similarly, what is the value of the birth of a son if he becomes neither learned nor a pure devotee of the Lord?

​​🌿It is the Jiva, a ‘reflection’ of the Self, which is affected by the pain and pleasure of this transmigratory life, but not the real Self [Atman]. This understanding is called knowledge. It is achieved through viveka, discrimination. 

🌿Therefore one should always enquire into the nature of the world, the individual Self and the supreme Self. When the ideas of Jiva and Jagat [world] are negated, the pure Atman alone remains. 

🌿By negation it does not mean that the world and Jiva cease to be perceptible to the senses, it means the conviction of their illusory character. Otherwise people would be automatically liberated in deep sleep or in a faint.

☀️ Rich people will talk about their own rich life, and those with Self-Knowledge will speak about Brahman only. If anybody meets another man, it is known by his speech and behavior what his caste is, what his religion is, what his occupation is, etc. The behavior, speech, and actions of a Jnani are always full of wisdom. The wise person will always live as a wise person.

🌿Don’t puzzle the mind with too many inquiries. One finds it difficult to put one single thing into practice, but dares invite distraction by filling the mind with too many things. The mind is everything. It is in the mind alone that one feels pure and impure. A man, first of all, must, make his own mind guilty and then alone he can see another man’s guilt. Does anything ever happen to another, if you enumerate other's faults? It only injures you.

🌿Whenever people discuss good or evil, all those who are present have to take a little share of the good or evil. Suppose some one tells you about other's good and evil deeds. Every time you think of that person, you must perforce remember his good and evil deeds. In this manner his good and evil deeds both must leave some impression upon your mind.

My child, remember that My sport is unerring. Not one movement shall be in vain. Not one effort shall fail at last. Think that it was for My pleasure that you came into this world! When the 'night' falls, when this 'play' ends and when My desire is accomplished, I shall withdraw you to Myself. Ask nothing. Resist nothing. Plan nothing. Have no worries or doubts. Surrender with faith and dance to My tune with love. Let My will and grace flow through you, as the ocean through an empty shell. 🕊

​✨MAYA AS THE LIBERATING POWER✨

☀️In God there are both Vidya Maya and Avidya Maya. The Vidya Maya takes man towards God, whereas the Avidya Maya leads him astray. Knowledge, devotion, dispassion, compassion—all these are expressions of Vidya Maya; only with their help can one reach God.

☀️It is Maya which reveals Brahman. Without Maya, who could have known Brahman? Without knowing Sakti, the manifested power of God, there is no means of knowing Him.

☀️It is only due to Maya that the attainment of supreme knowledge and final beatitude becomes possible for us. Otherwise who could even dream of all this? From Maya alone spring duality and relativity; beyond Maya there is neither the enjoyer nor the object of enjoyment.

☀️The cat catches her kitten with her teeth and they are not hurt; but when a mouse is so caught, it dies. Thus Maya never kills the devotee, though it destroys others.

🌿​​​​☀️SHUBH JANAMASHTAMI☀️🌿

This is the birthday of Lord Krishna, the 8th Divine Incarnation. It falls on the 8th day of the dark half of the month of Bhadrapada [Aug-Sept]. This is one of the greatest of all Hindu festivals. Lord Krishna was born at midnight. A 24-hour fast is observed today.

The Lord appeared when the moon entered the house of Vrishabha at the constellation of the star Rohini, on Wednesday, the 8th day of the second fortnight of the month of Sravana, which corresponds to the month of Bhadrapada Krishnapaksha according to the Barhaspatyamana, in the year of Visvavasu, i.e. 3227 BC.

Study the Bhagavatam and the Pancharatras, which are equal to the Upanishads. You will know all about the glory of Lord Krishna, His Lilas and superhuman deeds. The eighth avatara, Krishna, who has become the Beloved of India and the world at large, had a threefold objective :-

🌿To destroy the wicked demons.

🌿To play the leading role in the great war fought on the battlefield of Kurukshetra [where he delivered His wonderful message of the Gita].

🌿To become the centre of a marvellous development of the Bhakti schools of India.

There is no true science except devotion to Lord Krishna. That man is wealthy indeed who loves Radha and Krishna. There is no sorrow other than lack of devotion to Krishna. He is the foremost of the emancipated who loves Krishna. The Name, virtues and Lilas divine pastimes of Krishna are the chief things to be remembered. The Lotus Feet of Radha and Krishna are the chief objects of meditation.

Devotion is the chief means of attaining Lord Krishna. Bhakti kindles love for the Lord. When love is directed towards Krishna, man is freed from the bondage of the world. Though Lord Krishna appeared in a human body, He had a divine body not composed of the five elements. He did not take any birth here in the usual sense of the term. He did not die. He appeared and disappeared through His Yoga Maya as He has declared in the Gita. This is a secret, known only to His devotees, yogis and sages.

Avatars of God appear for special reasons under special circumstances. Whenever there is much unrighteousness, confusion and disorder set in on account of adharma and baffle the well-ordered progress of mankind, whenever the balance of human society is upset by selfish, ruthless and cruel beings, whenever adharma and unrighteousness prevail, whenever the foundations of social organisations are undermined, the great Incarnation of God appears in order to re-establish righteousness and to restore peace.

An Incarnation is the descent of God for the ascent of man. The work done by the Incarnation of God and His teachings produce a benign influence on human beings and help them in their upward divine unfoldment and Self-realisation. The Incarnation comes to reveal the divine nature of man and makes him rise above the petty materialistic life of passion and egoism.

Krishna has played various roles in His Life. He was Arjuna’s charioteer. He was an excellent statesman. He was a master musician; he gave lessons even to Narada in the art of playing the veena. The music of His flute thrilled the hearts of the Gopis and everyone else. He was a cowherd in Vrindavan and Gokul. He exhibited miraculous powers even as a child. He killed many demons. He revealed His Cosmic Form to His mother, Yasoda. He performed the Rasa Lila, the secret of which can only be understood by devotees like Narada, Gauranga, Radha and the Gopis. He taught the supreme Truth of Yoga, Bhakti and Vedanta to Arjuna and Uddhava. He had mastered every one of the sixty-four fine arts. Therefore, He is regarded as the full manifestation of God.

☀️🌿SHUBH GANESH CHATURTHI🌿☀️

​​💫त्वमेव प्रत्यक्षं तत्त्वमसि ।
त्वमेव केवलं कर्ताऽसि ।
त्वमेव केवलं धर्ताऽसि ।
त्वमेव केवलं हर्ताऽसि ।
त्वमेव सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्मासि ।
त्वं साक्षादात्माऽसि नित्यम् ॥

You are indeed the visible tattvamasi [Pure Conscious Essence - that underlies everything]. You indeed produce the universe. You indeed sustain it. You indeed destroy it. You indeed are the all pervading reality. You are the manifestation of the eternal Self [Brahman].

💫एकदन्ताय विद्महे वक्रतुण्डाय धीमहि तन्नो दन्तिः प्रचोदयात् ॥

May we know the single tusked one, May we meditate on the one with the curved trunk, May that tusked one inspire knowledge and meditation of ours.
